Stairway to Heaven
Sometimes you snap a photo and a caption just pops into your head. Well, it does for some people. I’m lucky if I remember to bring a camera – not mind actually managing to take photos with it. But thankfully, the WanderDad is camera-happy and a witty soul to boot. The photo above is of Read the Rest…
Paris street cafe
BigB, Paris 2002 Picture the scene: an extended family group enjoying a day in Paris before taking the train to historic Poitiers. It’s about lunchtime and the group has stopped to review lunch options in a narrow street lined with small cafes. And then WanderMom notices that her two-year-old has slipped out of view. Frantic, Read the Rest…
Proposed Cornwall Trip Itinerary
Truro Cathedral, photo credit: Flickr I obsess about trip planning. There are times when I’ve been known to research a destination so deeply that I’m stymied by all the possible things to see and do when we get there. Inevitably, I find I need to step back, think about the goal of the trip whether Read the Rest…
is there a snake theme here?
I got a huge kick out of the comments readers left when I posted a photo of the WanderDad with a huge snake – taken in Zambia in 1969. On reading these, WanderDad suggested that I follow up with my photos of the next generation of our family with a python – taken at a Read the Rest…
spring break in portugal
The promenade in Albufeira, at lunch with Grandparents. The schools will be out (again!) in the next couple of weeks for mid-winter break. This is usually the time when I start thinking about what to do or where to go for Spring Break. My boys are in different schools (elementary and middle) so some years Read the Rest…
public transport options from heathrow to central london
I’ll be traveling to the U.K. in March, flying from Seattle to London Heathrow. Usually for us, Heathrow is a lay-over point where we connect to a flight to elsewhere in Europe. This time, however, we’ll be staying in the U.K. – visiting family, tasting pasties, and finding pixies in Cornwall. Picking up a rental Read the Rest…

Paros, Greece As part of last week’s Photo Friday, Heather over at HeatherOnHerTravels posted a beautiful view photo taken on Zakynthos, Greece – there’s an intriguing story behind the photo which you should check out too 🙂 Her photo from this Ionian island made me think – wistfully, I might add – of the many Read the Rest…

family reunion in tuscany
Last summer, on the WanderDad’s birthday, as he was lamenting the fact that this was his last thirtysomething birthday, my wheels started spinning with plans for a 40th birthday party celebration. It would have to be something special. With most of our families in Europe it made sense to combine “the event” with a vacation. Read the Rest…
look what big eyes I’ve got…
I’m really enjoying hunting through my photos looking for wierd and whacky ones to include in Debbie’s Photo Friday on DeliciousBaby. CAM, with the treasures he found at the Lucca flea market. Here’s what happens when you let your kids loose in a flea market in a city in a another country: they buy stuff. Read the Rest…
